Re: [Eug-lug] LogOn FUBAR & A new ISP to run Linux - Advice?

[larry]

what's the contents of your /etc/ppp/options file?
are you using kppp?
It looks like it you might be needing to have it pause for a second or 
two between authenticating and initialising ppp

also check 
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialPPP-Dial-in.html
to see if you can twiddle the settings

I'm pretty sure that epud is still using Universal Telecom to handle 
the dialup connections
so it may be that they have changed their RADIUS setup.

Two to three weeks ago, about the time EFN was moving its servers and 
becoming a Brand Name owned by EPUD my SuSE linux 9.0 on a Laptop 
ceased to be able to connect.

Quoting my LOG from memory:
 Looks like a login
 sending login
 looks like a password request
 sending password
 NO SUCH COMMAND AS "PPP"
 Legal COMMANDS
( ed.: little list follows)
 hangup
 don't know what to do
 trying to start ppp
 NO CARRIER

No matter how I jiggle YAST - no joy.
My MAC OS X G-4 hasn't even noticed a bump in the road. I sign on "as 
usual" every day.

I just Installed SuSE 9.1 Pro, clean install, formatting everything, 
and:

( ed.: little list follows)

Sigh............
I called both EFN and EPUD and am told "Linux isn't supported".
The last time rather well shall we say "crisply"?
Please, some GURU help me here. I am a perennial newbie and need to 
make my Linux Laptop go on the go.

Multiple nested thank u zzz.
